Foreign sales in e-commerce – key tax challenges at eTrade Show 2026
With the dynamic development of online commerce and growing international sales, e-commerce entrepreneurs are increasingly facing challenges that go beyond the areas of marketing and logistics. One of the key factors affecting business security and scalability remains foreign VAT. This topic constitutes an important element of the eTrade Show program, which will take place on 27–29 January 2026 in Ptak Warsaw Expo. The event will create space for the exchange of knowledge, experience, and practical solutions related to VAT obligations in cross-border sales. Trade fair participants will be able to view foreign expansion not only through the lens of sales, but also tax compliance and business stability in the EU and UK markets.

PROFINANZ – foreign VAT in practice for e-commerce
Foreign VAT – a real challenge for online sellers
For many e-commerce companies, selling to other EU countries or the United Kingdom means the need to navigate complex tax regulations. The obligation to register for VAT in another country may arise sooner than expected – among others after exceeding the EU B2C sales threshold, when storing goods abroad, or when using marketplace fulfillment centers.
During eTrade Show, the topic of VAT OSS, local VAT registrations, and the correct settlement of cross-border sales gains particular importance. This is an area in which a lack of knowledge or delayed actions may result in real financial and operational risk.
eTrade Show – more than an e-commerce trade fair
eTrade Show is an event that combines expert knowledge with market practice. Participants have the opportunity to learn about current trends in online sales, modern tools for e-commerce, as well as issues that often remain in the background of dynamic growth – such as tax compliance, reporting obligations, and compliance with local VAT regulations.
Three key areas important for international sellers
VAT obligations and settlement procedures
Learn when foreign sales in e-commerce require VAT registration in another country, how the VAT OSS procedure differs from classic registration, and how to avoid the most common mistakes made by online sellers.
Data, records, and tax compliance
Learn the importance of correct sales records, logistics documentation, and timely VAT returns. Check which data are crucial for the safe settlement of sales to multiple countries simultaneously.
Scaling sales without tax risk
Understand why well-organized VAT processes are the foundation of scalable e-commerce and how a lack of compliance with local regulations can hinder business growth in foreign markets.
